Hoosierbuck Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Didn't know they were edible. Got a ton of them growing in a little swamp area at one of my hunting spots. I'll have to write down a good recipie for them and try it out next spring. Do they just grow like that in the spring and then get to where they are no longer edible or desirable? I have only ever seen them curled up and small like that in early spring (April around here). HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 OK, so what distinguishes the edible ones, and what happens if I am wrong? HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Here is some info. Apparently only the Ostrich fern is safe to eat. http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/vegetables/fiddle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksheephuntress Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 ..The Ostrich fern??- I'll have to check that out, Leo... -Yes, the Fiddleheads are the ferns we encounter up here, right before they start to uncurl...and they' clean you out, too...( the enema, in this case, may not be nessessary...:rolleyes:)- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
